Xincheng Laozhuanpan Yang Zasui

Xincheng Laozhuanpan Yang Zasui is an offal soup shop at 11 Tongda South Street in Yinchuan, the capital of China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, near the old roundabout that gives it the name Laozhuanpan. It serves yang zasui, the Hui mutton offal soup that locals eat for breakfast and lunch: sheep offal simmered in a clear, peppery broth and finished with herbs and chilli oil. The menu pairs the soup with lamb pie, a savoury filled pastry, and flatbread, which is torn into the broth. The kitchen is halal, in line with Hui Muslim practice in Ningxia, and alcohol is not served. The shop is a plain, practical space with a steaming counter, simple tables and quick turnover; the mood is friendly and local, and no dress code applies. Prices are low, around 15 to 30 yuan per person, which is roughly 2 to 4 US dollars. Breakfast and lunch are the serving times, and opening hours should be confirmed locally because small offal shops often shut when the day's pot sells out. No reservations are taken. Customers walk in, order and eat; arriving before 12:00 or after 1:30PM for lunch avoids the heaviest crowds. The location is in the newer part of the city, in contrast to the old-lane shops on Yinhe Lane, and it is easier to reach by taxi or ride-hailing. For travellers who have not tried offal before, a small bowl with flatbread is a moderate introduction, and the staff can reduce chilli on request. The shop works well as an inexpensive stop before or after exploring other parts of Yinchuan. Its local following is the best indicator of quality, and the steady stream of residents at breakfast confirms that the soup remains a daily habit rather than a tourist curiosity.
